ChunkRank: Model-Aware Text Chunking and Abstention-Aware Answer Selection for LLM Pipelines

We present ChunkRank, an open-source Python library that derives chunk boundaries from a target model's tokenizer and context window, and selects an answer among candidates produced independently per chunk. It ships a validated registry of 90 models across 15 providers and six answer-selection methods, and needs only t...

Finding Icebergs in Language-Model Workflow: Diagnosing Latent Structural Fragility with Stochastic Semantic Evidence Graphs

AI-workflow governance cannot be reduced to checking the final answer: an apparently safe answer may rest on a fragile evidence path that ordinary evaluation cannot see, localize or govern, so SSEG moves governance below surface-level output checking into auditable, path-specific decisions about intervention, revalidat...

DP-IPI: A Hybrid Differential Privacy Text Rewriting Mechanism for Indirect Personal Identifiers in Clinical Texts

The effectiveness of hybrid text privatization is demonstrated, which leverages the promise of DP in an efficient, usable manner and effectively reduces re-identification risks in clinical texts while being producing more coherent and usable output texts, leading to higher privacy-utility trade-offs.

Confident but Wrong: A Constrained Decoding Diagnostic for Low-Resource Automatic Post-Editing

A black-box, inference-time diagnostic that tells these two cases apart without retraining or annotation is introduced, with the pattern holding on English-Marathi and English-Tamil, with the failure modes tracking the post-edit distribution rather than MT quality or language family.

LLMersion: A Local-First AI Agent Framework for Low-Cost Home Language Learning toward Educational Equity

LLMersion is proposed, a scheme for AI for education that runs entirely at home, over the learner's own documents, with an AI-written, AI-understood, AI-updated codebase anyone can customize; and presents LLMersion-1, a released open-source prototype.

How To Do Things With Prompts

This paper applies speech act and politeness theory to a corpus-pragmatic analysis of 2,000 English-language prompts drawn from publicly shared ChatGPT conversations, showing a consistent movement toward indirect, implicit, and fragmentary realizations of directive force, accompanied by a decline in politeness marking.

ModularSQL: A Runtime Guardrail for the Multiplicity Blind Spot in Text-to-SQL

Results show that benchmark accuracy does not necessarily imply execution-safe SQL, and that lightweight, multiplicity-aware runtime guardrails can narrow this gap with modest computational overhead, and introduces ModularSQL, a lightweight post-selection runtime guardrail.

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
